Reminder: Meet the board candidates tonight
Four people have stepped up to run for two spots on the Cascade Bicycle Club board of directors:
Image"I truly believe that we can create a better community through bicycling and have seen that happen through Cascade’s youth programs and education work. I bring a fresh perspective, passion for community engagement, steadfast skills in campaign management, and a wide-angle lens on issues communities face when it comes to access to safe environments for cycling. I would be excited to work alongside the board and staff to continue to build club membership and expand reach to new communities and demographics."
Image"I am excited and humbled to offer my time and energy to support the members of CBC and to provide a voice of the riding members on the board." If elected, Hadley is committed to continuing the growth of the club’s influence and activities to enhance cycling in the broader Puget Sound Region, improve cycling safety, increase support for our riding programs and ride leaders, enhance communication with our members, grow and strengthen interaction with other bicycle clubs, and provide opportunities to educate the broad public.
Image"I would like to serve on the Cascade Bicycle Club board of directors to help promote biking advocacy, influence decision makers to help make Seattle a more bike-friendly city, and move the club forward in its mission to create a better community through bicycling. My skills and experience in strategic planning, budgeting, organizational advocacy and new member recruiting would make me an effective Cascade Bicycle Club board member. With more than 15 years of serving in executive leadership positions in Fortune 100 companies, I will be an effective and active board member and I would help ensure that we stay true to our mission."
Image"Like many people, I owe Cascade Bicycle Club. They helped re-kindle my passion for cycling, and they work to make cycling safer and more enjoyable for everyone. I want cycling to be a mainstream activity for many. I want to see it funded as an essential mode of transportation... I'd like to see Washington State as a model for a bicycle-friendly place to live. Cascade is an influential organization, and I'd like to help leverage this influence... I have some relevant skills, and I have the time to commit to put in the effort required to make a difference. I can bring my leadership experience in strategic planning, network planning, marketing, and program management to the table... I'd like to give back a little since I owe them for getting me back on the bike. "
